                                          "DRESS UP FOR WORK"

*For those "Happy Friday's" from your normal 9-5 work days, wear a trendy stripe or printed tee with your favorite pencil skirt. Don't forget to grab a blazer to keep it with a professional twist!

                              

                              

                              

                                "COCKTAILS WITH THE GIRLS"

Dressing up your tee with a flirty whimsical skirt, whether it's tulle, embellished A-line, or a short mini for more leg exposure! Great for a day out for drinks with friends or an outdoor party to mingle and jingle to some music. The Balance between casual and sassy sophisticated with this "High Low" trend!

*Note -wear stripe or printed tee for a more savvy chic attire, or if you do a solid color top...add on a statement necklace to balance out the trendy fit for the skirt.

                              

                              

                              

                                                   "BOHO CHIC"

When we want to be comfy, but still stylish...pair your tee with a jersey knit bottom to tone down the look a bit. Add on a jean jacket or a whimsy sheer shawl with a pair of espadrilles, wedge or gladiator sandals. Great for cookouts or any outdoor casual events!

Paired with: Pintura Ball Skirt-$248.00, Sweetgrass Crossbody Bag-$98.00

—Wearing floral with stripes is always a safe way to mixed the two prints. Not overbearing to the eye and very settled. 

*This look is a mixture of contemporary and elegant! Get for going out for a dinner date, semi formal wedding or a fashionable event. By far a statement piece!

                     

Paired with: Paige Verdugo Printed Ankle Jeans-$189.00, Safari Duster Vest-$138.00, Cyndel Tote-$198.00

—Wearing a bold printed skinny pant, still with the same color palette as the stripe shirt. Don't be afraid to do more of an abstract look with the stripe shirt, it just show the versatility in the one shirt look.

*Such a Savvy Chic style, good for the edgy working girl, when she can wear jeans to work on "Happy Friday and ready for drinks after work with her girlfriends. Can go contemporary chic and street style. She's just as daring for a typical work day!

                    

 Paired with: Tiled Tide Shorts-$78.00, Elsa Foldover Clutch-$68.00

—Wearing printed shorts with stripes is a good "Boho Statement" if you do stripe top, the bolder the better print with shorts.

   Paired with: Pilcro Hyphen Patched Chinos- Sale $79.95

Wearing patchwork with stripes is uncommon, some feel this is risky and not complimentary, but as you can see the two work well! Just keep the Patchwork print to a minimal and very neutral.

* More dress down and casual for a normal day out with friends. Wear with a pair of Chuck Taylor(converse sneakers) Gives off an Artsy and boy meets girl vibe. Comfy and neutral for on-the-go!

STEPS TO CREATE THIS TURBAN LOOK:

1. WRAP SCARF OVER FRAME OF THE HEAD FROM THE MIDDLE OF THE FOREHEAD AND BACK, TIGHTLY AND SECURELY.

2. CRISS CROSS THE TWO ENDS OF SCARF FROM THE BACK OF FRAME.

3. TWIST LEFT SCARF PIECE AS TIGHT AS YOU CAN, AND WRAP IT AROUND THE FRAME FROM FRONT TO BACK. 

 

4. TUCK LEFT PIECE SECURELY UNDER THE LOOP.

5. REPEAT STEP 3&4 WITH THE RIGHT SCARF PIECE WRAPPING UNDER LEFT SCARF PIECE.

6. THE WRAPS SHOULD BE RIGHT UNDER EACH OTHER FOR A TWO LAYER LOOK.

WHERE I FEEL THE MOST COMFORTABLE

HEY MY FASHION FRIENDS! AS A STYLIST, I HAVE TO ALWAYS KEEP MY APPEARANCE ON POINT! STAYING FASHION FORWARD, TRENDY AND CHIC IS DEFINITE PRIORITY. I'M CONSTANTLY IN THE PUBLIC'S EYE, KEEPING MY LOOK SOPHISTICATED AND POLISHED, BUT THE REAL ME IS SO OPPOSITE. 

ON MY DAYS OFF FROM STYLING, MY WARDROBE CONSIST OF BOYFRIEND JEANS, T-SHIRT AND SO CHILL KICKS. THAT'S WHERE I FEEL THE MOST COMFORTABLE AND SEXY! I'M OBSESSED WITH COMFORT AND LOSE-FITTING CLOTHES, I COME MORE ALIVE...

IT'S DAYS WHERE I JUST THROW ON THOSE TYPE OF THREADS AND TAKE WALKS IN THE PARK OR GO TO RANDOM TRAILS AND FEEL SO FREE! THOSE ARE THE BEST TIMES WHEN YOU JUST THROW ON THE SIMPLIEST THINGS AND BECOME A FASHION STATEMENT! I'M SUCH A NATURE GIRL, I LOVE THE OUTDOORS! TO BE HONEST, THAT'S WHERE I CREATE MY FASHION VISION FROM. 

I OVERLOOK MY SURROUNDINGS AND IT JUST PUT THINGS IN PERSPECTIVE. THAT'S WHEN I HAVE SOME ME TIME FROM THE TYPICAL 9-5 WORK LIFE AND RID OF THAT "DRESS UP FOR WORK PHASE"
